If you no longer wish to allow us to collect and use your location information, you should discontinue the use of the Services.

• Information We Receive from Third Parties: In addition, you may be directed to, and choose to use, third party applications that share your Personal Information, activities and/or content with Company.

Company is not responsible for your use or interaction with any third party sites or applications, whether or not your use or interaction sourced from your use of Company’s Services. Please read the terms and conditions of use and privacy policy of any such third party so that you understand its distinct sharing practices.

You may be able to take part in certain activities within our Services that let you communicate or share information not just with us, but also with other users. These include:

• sending private or group messages or content to other users

The Personal Information you provide and we acquire is used for such purposes as delivering the products and services you request, allowing you to set up a user id that can be used to interact with other users through the Services, improving the content of the Services, customizing the advertising and content you and your friends see (including Company or third-party advertising or content), and communicating with you about promotions, products and features. Your Personal Information may be associated with the user name and email you provide. Personal Information you provide to one of our Services may be used across platforms with other Services you or your friends use. For example, location information we receive in connection with your use of one of our Services may be used to customize the content you and your friends see in another one of our Services. We may also draw upon this Personal Information to adapt the Services of our community to your needs, to research the effectiveness of our network and Services, and to develop new features for the Services.

How is my Information Shared?

Personal Information about our users is an integral part of our Services. We may sell or license your Personal Information, non-personal information and aggregate information to third parties without your authorization. Certain Personal Information may also be made available to third party developers if you or your "friends" use these third party applications. You should review the policies of third party developers to ensure that you are comfortable with the ways in which they use and disclose the information you share with them. As with third party sites, we do not guarantee that third party developers will follow our rules or our Privacy Policy.

Your Personal Information could also be shared or sold as aggregated information or when anonymized by removing the personally identifying parts of your information, for example, we may share customer trend information with third parties, where that information is aggregated from sets of users and not any single user. We share this kind of aggregated data to improve and further our business and those of third party businesses, as well as to increase customer service, marketing and communications effectiveness.

Your friends may see, for example, your location, name, text messages, mood, sensory data, and any other content uploaded or shared by you, just as you can see your friends’ information. Persons who have access to this information may use it or disclose it to other individuals or entities without our control and without our knowledge. Therefore, we urge you to think carefully about including any specific information you may deem private to access and use the Services.

While we collect your sensory data, such as heart rate, we do not share that information. You can choose, however, to share your sensory data to any third party directly or through the Company’s App, but the Company Is not responsible for any sensory information you provide directly or through our App.

We may employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you. Our agents will not have any right to use Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us, and they provide a comparable level of protection for your Personal Information. We are not responsible for any information you provide to third parties directly.

We may disclose your Personal Information in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of the Company, third parties, or the public at large.

How is my Location Determined and Shared?

Determining your location - Whenever you open, use or interact with our Services through the application on your mobile device or one of our sites, we use the location information from your mobile device or browser (e.g., latitude and longitude) to tailor the Services experience to your current location. The Services also use your mobile device’s background location to provide the Services, including, to send you notifications of friends, events, or other relevant information near you. If you have ‘background location’ turned on, the Services may, from time to time, tell us about your device’s location even if you are not directly interacting with the application.

We may use various technologies to determine location, such as location services of the applicable operating system or browser, GPS, Bluetooth, i-Beacon, RFID, and sensor data from your devices, along with nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers, and other technologies to determine your devices' approximate location.

When using the Services, your location data, shown by graphic points on a map, distance and direction proximity, or other graphic or text method, is shared with all members of any active group or “circle” you join via the Services and is updated in real time using your background location. You can turn off location sharing in your device in which case your location will only be shared when you proactively decide to tell the Services that you are at a particular place.
The Services include several features that may allow you to share your information with others. Please remember that if you choose to provide personal information using certain features of the Services, that information may be available to the wider Services community, or may be published on our Sites, which is subject to indexing by third party search engines such as Google.

You should only share your location with people you know and trust not to convey your location to others. You should also note that personal information you share with others may be forwarded, and any information you post to public areas of the Site may become publicly available. For example, information you post on any interactive areas or other information that is provided for the purpose of being shared may be made publicly available and can potentially be viewed by anyone. Your posting to such public areas of the Site constitutes your consent to share such information publicly.

How is Information Shared with Other Parties?

We may share your Personal Information that is related to such transactions with that business.

• Business Transfers: If Company or substantially all of its assets are acquired, or in the unlikely event that Company goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party.

• Protection of Company and Others: We may release Personal Information when we believe in good faith that release is necessary to comply with the law, including laws outside your country of residence, enforce or apply our conditions of use and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Company, our employees, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations (including outside of your country of residence) for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Other users only see the name you provide through the Company’s Apps when you connect with them through the app, for example, joining a “circle” or “group” with them.

We need your name to customize your experience with our Services, and we retain your email address in order to communicate product and promotional messages with you.
